have been otherwise; 1t was the state

heart, revealed under the shadow Of
death. They might have loved him
better had he been able to give more
time from his ship and her voyages, to
devote to them. As it was, they

"Of course it had. I thought my

change her mind"
He looked inquiringly in the direc-
ton of his hopes. He probably saw
enough there to speedily convince him
that there had been no change.
